Chocolate and your teeth

Now that everyone has eaten their fill of chocolate from Valentine’s Day let’s discuss how it may actually be good for you, in moderation of course. Chocolate contains polyphenols and flavonoids which prevent sugar from being broken down into bacteria that cause decay. The polyphenols are an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. They help to reduce the chances of hypertension and stroke. The cocoa butter in chocolate reduces the ability of plaque to stick to teeth.
Though chocolate should always be eaten in moderation, it makes it just a little bit sweeter that eating it may be considered somewhat good for you.

Cornerstone Of Hope...


For the month of February, Hudec Dental is proud to partner with Cornerstone of Hope. We are raising money by selling $1 or $5 hearts; all proceeds will benefit the organization. Your name will be placed on the heart and hung throughout one of our 15 office locations.

Cornerstone of Hope is an organization that is dedicated to helping those who have lost a loved one.  Since 2003 they have been assisting children, teen and adults through the grief process. They offer individual counseling, group support, workshops and memorial activities. The facilities are set up in a way to be inviting and home-like. There are areas to accommodate all ages.

Their 9th annual Cleveland Benefit Gala is coming up February 18, 2012. This event will benefit grieving families and children in Cleveland.  If you believe in this organization and would like to help, visit their website which is below.
